	dev_queue_xmit() needs to dirty fields "state", "q", "bstats" and "qstats" On x86_64 arch, they currently span three cache lines, involving more cache line ping pongs than necessary, making longer holding of queue spinlock. We can reduce this to one cache line, by grouping all read-mostly fields at the beginning of structure. (Or should I say, all highly modified fields at the end :) ) Before patch : offsetof(struct Qdisc, state)=0x38 offsetof(struct Qdisc, q)=0x48 offsetof(struct Qdisc, bstats)=0x80 offsetof(struct Qdisc, qstats)=0x90 sizeof(struct Qdisc)=0xc8 After patch : offsetof(struct Qdisc, state)=0x80 offsetof(struct Qdisc, q)=0x88 offsetof(struct Qdisc, bstats)=0xa0 offsetof(struct Qdisc, qstats)=0xac sizeof(struct Qdisc)=0xc0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
